Socratease How do you know when your acting career is on the skids? When you accept roles in a film as poorly written as this one you are signalling that you have no professional pride left. Like the alcoholic reduced by poverty to drinking methylated spirits, an actor of any former repute must gag on the lines he or she is forced to mouth in garbage like this.The wonder for me is that this sort of amateur rubbish gets financed.The plot is laughable, the characters are totally unbelievable, the dialogue is execrable, the direction is workmanlike and -- not unexpectedly -- the acting performances are woeful.Memo to Jevon O'Neill: Don't give up your day job.I give it zero stars, but regrettably IMDb allows a minimum of 1.

Aristides-2 ..... unintentionally funny movies. Not being an actor I still know that had I been cast in this thing I would have had to do many takes; laughing during scenes that one should not have been laughing in: The character Kelly, near the end of the movie, portentously looks at the normally turbulent winter ocean scene and says, "I think there's a storm coming"! No kidding, Ms. Meterorologist.: Poorly written script that through redundancy made sure you 'got the point': Gina Gerson doing a bad impersonation of a sexy woman: Dennis Hopper directed to show way too much 'feeling' and 'softness'; this guy was number one choice for the Mafia in Chicago?: Hopper knows that Simeon has ripped off a dozen or so cases of his bar's booze and does nothing about it!: Haven't Pierre and Simeon ever watched any of the CSI's?; they left fingerprints ........ everywhere!: Handcuffs on Gerson that she slipped out of?; doesn't the screenwriter know how police handcuffs work?: Simeon suspects the heavily disabled Harry of pulling off two killings and the robbery? - Pierre 'knows' that Simeon is going to be in the church praying after the killings?..... and then Simeon, offered proof by the virginal Pierre that he had jewelry lifted from the robbery.....let's him go?! Since I was unable to find any evidence that 'Out of Season' was ever reviewed in a theatrical release, then it must have been a straight-to-DVD deal. Bravo to the distributors for not buying this piece of garbage and bravo to the producers for seeing how bleak the movie's financial future would be in trying to release it theatrically and instead cutting their losses and going to cable/dish.

amparker-1 I liked the movie. The characters matched the setting perfectly. The characters are shifty and edgy and not quite right as is the decaying off season amusement park where they hover. The movie was possibly too violent at the end but the viewer could see that the rot would never come to a peaceful resolution.Their Low life dreams were well described. I liked the bleakness of the unused boardwalk, the sounds of the rides being tested, the rain bucket which catches water from a leak that would have been there for years. Mary Poppins would not like this neighborhood . And the characters who cling there dream small time dreams...small scores which they think are big but the viewer knows are not worth the effort.

dilbertsuperman Pierre wants to be a thief- Dennis Hopper takes him under his wing with the backdrop of an out of season amusement park as their home base. There are a few moments that are OK but for the most part the acting is flat and the story very dull. This is a movie that is severely lacking in a lot of elements and it will leave you wanting the time you spent watching it back. Dennis Hopper plays a better role than usual, but that's only because his usual level of acting lately is so poor. So when he plays an average role it seems like a big deal these days. Bottom line, miss this movie it is dumb and flat. The most appealing thing in this film is the villain, who I wound up rooting for because I was sick of the dumb characters.
